to post here, found this site at the very beginning of my quit on new years day.

i thought i would never have got as far as i have,especially as partner is still smoking. but i have and it feel's great

im 34 and have smoked 20+ aday since i was 19,and finally after alot of soul serching,decided that the time was right for me. have been doing pretty well and have had no real cravings,or nothing too major i cannot deal with.

First thing welcome to the forum and congratulations on your quit, I know how it is with a smoker in the house my wife still smoke even though she now restricts her smoking to the kitchen, as long as you remember this is for you and you are worth the effort you will suceed.

think thats why i hung around so long,knowing even tho i wasnt posting i could still come here and read that so many people were going thro it with me.

we decided in november time that we were going to stop smoking,partner and i and from then on we smoked outside...thats a good cut down just there,especially with the weather we have been having.

well 1st jan came and i stopped and he didnt,so he still smokes in the garden :rolleyes: he says he will stop and has tried twice,but ended up going back to them. i try not to give him too much of a hard time,but its not that easy especially after i did it...guess its just not his time.

it just felt right this time,dont get me wrong when i get a craving...its a good one,and ive thought many a time il just have one. but then something just kicks in and i dont.

My husband still smokes but it doesn't bother me any more. I just feel sorry for him being tied to finding places for a quick smoke!! Even when we went on a cruise at Christmas he had to face the wind and cold of the outside deck just for a rollie:eek:

I don't pander to him any more by having a "base reserve" supply of papers/baccy/lighters etc and I don't queue at the tobacco counter!!

No-one can force anyone else to quit - this decision is your's and for you alone!!
